    Creative People Are Different

    Creative people process sensory information differently than others. In a study where participants were shown two contradictory images, one to each eye, creative individuals were able to perceive a mixture of both images rather than seeing them alternate as less creative people did. Creative thinking requires seeing and combining ideas in new ways rather than being limited by contradictions. Signs of a creative mind include being energetic yet focused, imaginative yet grounded, and passionate about their work while also maintaining objectivity.

    Creative People are different

    Creativity is often defined as the ability to come up with new and useful ideas. Like
    intelligence, it can be considered a trait that everyone – not just creative
    “geniuses” like Picasso and Steve Jobs – possesses in some capacity.
    Creative people aren't just different because of the surprising and valuable work
    they produce. Nor is exceptional creativity all a matter of personality. The
    differences between the creatively gifted and the rest of us apparently go even
    deeper, according to mind-blowing recent research.
    What exactly do I mean by see the world differently? In one intriguing study
    explained by authors Luke Smillie and Anna Antinori, researchers presented each
    eye of a volunteer with a different image. The right eye might see a red patch, for
    instance, and the left a green one. How did participants' brains handle this
    contradictory visual information? The answer depended on the subject's level of
    creativity.
    The brains of the averagely gifted alternated between the two images, sometimes
    deciding that the world must be red and other times that it must be green. "For the
    observer, the images seem to flip intermittently from one to the other," explain the
    psychologists.
    But the results were different for those who were previously shown to possess
    exceptional creativity by standard psychological tests. Instead of seeing alternating
    images, these more creative types were able to handle contradiction and confusion
    better--their brains showed them a mixture of the two images.

    Signs of a Creative Mind


     Energetic and Focused: Creative people tend to have a lot of energy, both
    physical and mental. They can spend hours working on a single task that
    holds their attention, yet seem to remain enthusiastic all the while.
     Smart and Naïve: Creative people tend to be smart, but research has shown
    that having a very high IQ is not necessarily correlated with higher levels of
    creative achievement—personality traits are important, too.
     Playful and Disciplined: When working on a project, creative people tend to
    exhibit determination and doggedness. They may work for hours on
    something, often staying up late into the night until they are satisfied with
    their work.
     Realistic and Imaginative: They can immerse themselves in imagination and
    fantasy, yet remain grounded enough to turn their daydreams into reality.
    They are often described as dreamers, but that doesn’t mean that they live
    with their heads in the clouds.
     Proud and Modest: Highly creative people tend to be proud of their
    achievements and accomplishments, yet they are also aware of their place.
     Conservative and Rebellious: Creative people are "out-of-the-box" thinkers
    by definition, and we often think of them as non-conformist and even a little
    bit rebellious.
     Passionate and Objective: Creative people don't just enjoy their work—they
    passionately love what they do. But, just being passionate about something
    does not necessarily lead to great work.
     Sensitive and Joyful:  The act of creating something, of coming up with new
    ideas and taking risks, often opens people up to criticism and even scorn. It
    can be painful, even devastating, to devote years to something only to have
    it rejected, ignored, or ridiculed.
